Intergenerational status transfer and post-compulsory pathways in a changing education system
Our analyses underscore the need for structural policy interventions to enhance educational equity, particularly measures that foster de facto (and not only formal) permeability within the highly stratified Swiss education system
The impact of tracking in a stratified education system on idealistic educational aspirations in migrant and native families
In this study, we analyse the extent to which educational tracking impacts idealistic educational aspirations in Switzerland and how different second generation groups by countries of origin differ from Swiss natives in this respect. In fact, research has repeatedly confirmed that students with a migration background aspire more for general education, specifically for university degrees. However, little is known within strong tracking educational…
Parental Investment in Children's Educational Pathways
What strategies do parents adopt when it comes to realizing the aspirations they have for their children's educational career? Drawing on a longitudinal and intergenerational mixed-method study, we explore the complex interplay between children's educational pathways and parental educational aspirations and strategies. We focus on parents of modest social status (with and without migration background) whose children's educational trajectories hav…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Up to the end of the 1990s, the scientific and political representation of the Swiss education and transition system’s functioning and underlying mechanisms had been at best fragmentary, largely relying on patchy, mostly cross-sectional data that hardly lent themselves to even adequately describe the system as a whole – let alone providing explanations as to the how and why of its functioning. The launch of TREE was one of the initiatives marking…
Aspiring High in the Swiss VET-Dominated Education System
Often second generation young adults and their immigrant parents aspire high and towards general education despite a modest socioeconomic background. Little is known about the interrelation between educational aspirations and institutionally co-structured educational pathways. These interrelations are particularly important in an early tracking and a highly segregated education system like Switzerland, where – in contrast to many other countries …
Warum werden Frauen so selten Mint-Fachkräfte? Zur Bedeutung der Differenz zwischen mathematischen Kompetenzen und Selbstkonzept
Um den Fachkräftemangel im MINT-Bereich zu bekämpfen, bemühen sich Bund und Kantone, auf allen Bildungsstufen Interesse an Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik zu wecken. Unter anderem soll dabei geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschieden hinsichtlich der Lehrstellen- bzw. Fächerwahl entgegengewirkt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt hier an und analysiert anhand der Daten der «ÜGK 2016», wie viele Jugendliche am Ende der obligat…
Does the Structural Organisation of Lower-Secondary Education in Switzerland Influence Students’ Opportunities of Transition to Upper- Secondary Education? A Multilevel Analysis
The Swiss cantonal education systems account for the structural organisation of lower-secondary education (streamed, cooperative or integrated models). We examined whether structural cantonal variations affect students’ transition to upper-secondary education. Analyses drew on data from the TREE study. Multilevel logistic regression analyses indicated that students in cantons with a cooperative or integrated model had, by trend, a higher chance o…
Young women’s strong preference for children and subsequent occupational gender segregation
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse how and whether young women’s strong and early preference for having children relates to the degree of occupational segregation of the careers they envisage for themselves and the careers they actually enter by the time they reach age 23. Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on theories predicting that young women act to replicate gendered social stereotypes in their career choice and to anticipa…
Les trajectoires d'insertion des jeunes peu qualifiés en Suisse et en Allemagne
This article examines young people’s transition pathways from education to employment in Germany and Switzerland. For many adolescents vocational education and training is the major path to access the labor market. There are considerable barriers to labor market integration for lower educated adolescents who have not completed some form of vocational education. We use data from the German DJI Transition Panel and the Swiss Transition from Educati…
The Interplay between Educational Achievement, Occupational Success, and Well-Being
Bildung - Arbeit - Erwachsenwerden
Sind leistungsschwache Jugendliche tatsächlich nicht ausbildungsfähig
Bildung – Arbeit – Erwachsenwerden
Geschlechterungleichheiten im intergenerationalen Bildungstransfer in der Schweiz
Die öffentliche Diskussion um geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheiten hat sich - parallel zur Reduktion struktureller Benachteiligungen von Frauen - in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Während traditionell die geringere Bildungs- und Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen in den Blick genommen wurde, ist nun der geringere Bildungserfolg von Jungen - im Hinblick auf Bildungsabschlüsse, Schulnoten oder Leistungstests - zum viel beachteten Thema geworden. Z…
